A Divine Cordial

by Thomas Watson

Thomas Watson (c. 1620–1686) was an English Puritan preacher, long minister at St Stephen's, Walbrook, in London, and one of the ejected ministers of 1662. Watson combined clear doctrine with vivid, memorable illustration and searching application. His Body of Divinity — sermons on the Westminster Shorter Catechism — together with The Beatitudes and The Ten Commandments, has kept him among the most readable of all the Puritan writers.

About this book

Thomas Watson's exposition of Romans 8:28 — 'all things work together for good to them that love God' — first published in 1663. Watson unfolds the promise part by part, showing how God's providence turns afflictions, temptations, and even the sins of others toward His people's good. It remains a steady Puritan cordial for Christians in trouble.
